Trump’s Ten Commandments

By Laurie Baron

Laurie Baron

SAN DIEGO− I am the President who liberated you from Obama and brought you out of the house of losing.

*

You shall neither worship the President before me nor like the new host of the “Apprentice.”

*

You shall not take my name in vain because I am the least vain person in the world.

*

Observe the Sabbath because I’m golfing at Mara Lago at the taxpayer’s expenses.

*

Honor your father because he might loan and will you a fortune.

*

You can murder.  We’ve got a lot of killers. What, do you think our country’s so innocent?

*

You shall not commit adultery unless she’s younger and more beautiful than your present wife.

*

You shall steal if it involves oil reserves. You shall not pay back your debts.

*

Bear false witness against your predecessor and any other political enemy because if you heard it on Breitbart or Fox and not on the fake news, it isn’t false.

*

You shall not covet Obamacare because it will be repealed and replaced by something great.
